Pune: Citizen rights activist has termed the Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) decision of installation of decorative electricity poles at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) chowk as a wasteful expenditure of taxpayers’ money. Vivek Velankar of Sajak Nagrik Manch, in a petition to municipal commissioner, stated that the civic body is undergoing financial crisis and still it has erected a decorative electricity police at the chowk which is uncalled for and an absolute wasteful expenditure. It is a criminal offence of wasting citizens’ money on unproductive assets and action must be taken against officials concerned.
